When parents come into the kindergarten or first-grade classroom for their first conference, the teacher often hears one of two concerns: “How can I help my child at home?” and “I can't work with my child at home; it's too frustrating.” Coming from parents who have little or no experience in the teaching of young children. these statements are valid and understandable. First, parents often do not know what to do to assist their child in extending the classroom learning at home. Their attempt is often directed back to the teacher by asking for extra worksheets to be completed after school. However, the young child who has worked hard at school should not be expected to return home, it down, and do worksheets. Children should be allowed a time to relax, just as adults require after a day at work. Homework should be in the form of an activity similar to the developmental, hands-on learning experiences used in the classroom.

The ability to read is highly valued and important for social and economic advancement. This aspect is also one where parental involvement may be of help, aside from building active networks in the community. This study, therefore, determined the extent to which parents’ involvement affects their children’s reading ability. Using the descriptive-correlational method, parental involvement in parenting, communicating, volunteering, learning at home, decision-making and collaborating with community was correlated with the reading ability of grade six students in F. Bustamante Central Elementary School, Tibungco District, Davao City. The parents displayed a mean moderate involvement in their children’s education while the reading ability of grade six students showed a frustration level in oral reading and silent reading. There was a significant relationship between parental involvement in education and reading ability of grade six students, indicating that the respondents’ parenting, communicating, volunteering, learning at home, decision-making and collaborating with community are not guarantees that the reading ability of grade six students will be developed.Keywords: Language, Reading ability, parental involvement, descriptive-correlational design, Philippines

Parents also struggle to provide a place that is specially prepared for each student. Besides, the lack of time as parents are busy with other responsibilities and the difficulty of following up more than one student in the family. The study members provided a number of suggestions to overcome the challenges facing the family in applying e-learning at home. These suggestions include the following: downloading the explained lessons in students’ devices, training parents and students on how to use the educational platforms and implementing a cooperation between the Ministry of Education and the community institutions to support families in providing the necessities of e-learning. Based on the results found, the study highly recommended educating parents and raising their awareness about their roles in the e- learning framework.

The study focuses on exploring the parents’ understanding of their involvement in schooling processes based on the six typologies of Epstein. The categories of the study were based on the typologies of Epstein consisting of parenting, communicating, volunteering, learning at home, decision-making, and collaboration with the community. Parent involvement in an Aceh school is a crucial issue which needs to be studied. This research provides an analysis of parents’ understanding of their involvement in schooling processes, what different kinds of ways parents/homes and school communicate between each other, and whose parents are frequently involved in schooling. There are several barriers parent involvement in schooling, such as work demands, reluctance to attend the school, lack of communication with the school, and parents’ perception of their involvement. The  reason  behind  parent  involvement  in  schooling  processes can  be  explained  with attribution  theory. The findings indicated that parent involvement in schooling processes in Aceh is low. In addition, the motivation of parents to be involved in schooling  processes was related  to  their  own  motives, such  as  merely  to  fulfill their  obligation  as  a  parent  in  rearing  the  children.[Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengeksplorasi pemahaman orang tua tentang keterlibatan mereka dalam proses pendidikan berdasarkan enam tipologi Epstein.

Keterlibatan orang tua di Aceh merupakan isu penting yang perlu diperhatikan. Penelitian ini memberikan analisis tentang pemahaman orang tua tentang keterlibatan mereka dalam proses pendidikan, bagaimana cara orang tua dan sekolah berkomunikasi satu sama lain, dan apakah ayah atau ibu yang dominan terlibat dalam pendidikan anak mereka. Ada beberapa hambatan keterlibatan orang tua di sekolah, seperti tuntutan kerja, keengganan untuk bersekolah, kurang komunikasi dengan sekolah, dan persepsi orang tua terhadap keterlibatan mereka dalam proses pendidikan. Alasan di balik keterlibatan orang tua dalam proses pendidikan dapat dijelaskan dengan teori atribusi. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa keterlibatan orang tua dalam proses pendidikan di Aceh rendah. Selain itu, motivasi orang tua untuk terlibat dalam proses pendidikan itu terkait dengan motivasi mereka sendiri, seperti semata-mata memenuhi kewajibannya sebagai orang tua dalam membesarkan anak.]

This paper concerns a probable shipwreck cargo of Aqaba amphorae, which was discovered during the second season of the survey project along the Saudi Arabian coast, initiated by nautical archaeologists of Philipps-University Marburg and conducted in cooperation with members of the Saudi Commission for Tourism and Heritage in autumn 2013. Seafaring and sea trade was, according to the few ancient sources and modern research activities, a hazardous endeavor in antiquity. Transport containers like the Aqaba Amphorae played a major role in sea trade, a significant number of which have been detected on various sites along the Red Sea coast and its hinterland. The chronological classification as well as the application is far from complete, and recent archaeometrical investigations help to clarify the logistical aspects of manufacturing and distribution of Aqaba amphorae. Finding a number of remains of Aqaba amphorae at a supposed shipwreck site close to Jeddah delivers new insight into the maritime routes and activities along the western coast of Saudi Arabia. The documentary material currently available is the baseline for further research in the field of maritime archaeology as it pertains to trade in the Red Sea.

<p align="center"><em>The widespread prevalence of COVID-19 pandemic has affected academia and parents alike. Due to the sudden closure of schools, students are missing social interaction which is vital for better learning and grooming while most schools have started online classes. This has become a tough routine for the parents working online at home since they have to ensure their children’s education. The study presented was designed to explore the experiences of home learning in times of COVID-19. A descriptive qualitative study was planned to explore the experiences of parents about home learning and management during COVID-19 to get an insight into real-life experiences.  Purposive sampling technique was used for data collection.  Data were collected from 19 parents falling in the inclusion criteria. Considering the lockdown problem, the data were collected via Google docs form with open-ended questions related to COVID-19 and home learning. Three major themes emerged after the data analysis: impact of COVID on children learning; support given by schools; and strategies used by caregivers at home to support learning. It was analyzed that the entire nation and academicians around the world have come forward to support learning at home offering a wide range of free online avenues to support parents to facilitate home-learning. Furthermore, parents too have adapted quickly to address the learning gap that have emerged in their children’s learning in these challenging times. Measures should be adopted to provide essential learning skills to children at home. Centralized data dashboards and educational technology may be used to keep the students, parents and schools updated.</em></p>
